I found this, which says it's based on an 'ancient design,' and swtor is what, 3 or 4 thousand years before the movies? So I expect it soon.

They can still do basically whatever, and pass it off as the people in the modern StarWars world picked up whatever "new" stuff comes out as being based on historical designs from this or that.

So you can get a Kylo Ren lightsaber in SWTOR, call it Darth Whatever's lightsaber and just insinuate that Kylo Ren designed his based on that lightsaber. Maybe Darth Whatever was a 3rd gen Most Powerful Sith Lord or something, who knows who cares.

Lightsabers are classic concepts anyway, I am super shocked it wasn't for sale for $20 in the cartel market.

Maybe Rey's speeder too. I think people might pay for a BB-X droid too, although I supposed they'd do it in different colors like the R2's have all been weird colors instead of straight up R2-D2.

Actually Kylo Ren's lightsaber is officially called an ancient design, so they can just make it SWTOR contemporary if they want.

Can confirm that's possible with a Chiss. I think it might be the near-human thing? I dunno, the Star Wars concept of aliens has always been weird. Then again, my sith pureblood had the option of calling the Chiss commander on Hoth a filthy alien, so I dunno.

Do any other races have unique dialog? I know the imperials get some dialog if you're any of the "alien" races but as a Chiss agent, once or twice they specifically mentioned growing up in the Chiss Ascendancy, what the food was like, it's relation to the empire, etc. Like, two or three references over the entire campaign, but I don't think I've seen it with any other race and class.

I just did a Twi'lek smuggler, and there were a few mentions of his race. Once, when he and Corso were talking about the Empire, he pointed out that they think people who look like him should be slaves. And the Sith lady on Tattooine said that having sex with her would be the only time one of his race could experience her presence not as a slave-master.

Although my Mirialan JK was told on a couple of occasions what his eyes looked like, which I think was an oversight. :)

I did a burn-the-puppies level darkside pureblood consular last week, who mostly ran around in the red/black high-tech flight suit in a low budget attempt to look obviously evil. It was quite amusing that everyone would still immediately react to his appearance with "Oh, Jedi! Thank goodness you're here!" when he looked nothing at all like a Jedi in any way. I think the first guy you talk to on Tython has one semi-generic line about the fact that you don't look like a typical Padawan or something, that was it.

Unfortunately it also wrecks a lot of the Consular story since most of the beats are about how you're a thoughtful Jedi and champion of the order. You end up feeling a lot of dissonance when you're actually an impatient jerk who kills more Jedi Masters than the entire Empire cast put together.

I personally really like vengeance but the companions are absurdly powerful now when you set them to DPS so levelling as a tank is totally viable. I've been levelling my shadow as a tank and it's been just fine.

They've added several new fast travel points on the old planets to speed up class and planetary quests. I just ran through Alderaan on a Consular and it was nice being able to QT back to House Teral instead of having to drive back and forth and back and forth.

This was interesting, at least when he's contemplating the possible dangers of popular storytelling all being templated to the Hero's Journey. Although I find it kind of hilarious how much it all unravels by the end. He also Godwins TO THE EXTREME, and while it's a fun question to think about, it's a flawed comparison, since the Emperor is the Hitler equivalent in Star Wars, not Vader. He's just Palpatine's top general. A more accurate question would be "would you forgive Rommel if he conspired against Hitler?" Also my question is more fun, because it's not even hypothetical!

I've leveled JK, SW, BH, and JC as tanks, and JK/SW were the ones I enjoyed the most. None of them were difficult, although I don't know if I ever got very good with the JC. Plus, I want to think it's better for learning all the tank-related abilities you'll need to be comfortable with when you get to the endgame stuff. (It's not like there are tons of them, but I like to have as much time to get used to the abilities as possible.)

I asked something like this somewhere in the thread before since I've not really seen anything noteworthily different on my Sith Pureblood smuggler and was told that only the Chiss have some different dialog on Hoth and that's about it since the opposing faction races thing didn't happen until later on gamewise. So far I've not seen anything that might be something added later, but then it's only Sith Pureblood that I've got unlocked in full.

As far as the not much going on if you're a dark side on Republic side thing, I finally got my all dark side choices only JK to finish up her Chapter 3 and there's been absolutely nothing commented on regarding her evilness save for Satele Shan's stating my knight's not going to be made a master because of some concerns about her bloodthirsty ambitions, and the occasional comment of Jedi don't act like that. It does crack me up still to see everyone all fawning over her when she's so darksided she's got the blazing red eyes and all the black veins visible.

There's different dialogue for the Inquisitor (and possibly the Warrior) if you're an alien. Lots of references to the fact my Miraluka SI is alien slave scum (and they're surprised I've gotten as far as I have not being human/sith) but my Zabrak warrior seems to be treated the same as my human warrior was. I think that there was some references to being an alien on my Twi'lek Bounty Hunter, as well. My Sentinel being a Twi'lek wasn't brought up in the Twi'lek village on the starter planet and Twi'leks are one of the default races for Knights so :iiam:

I've also noticed that early on my Chiss IA had some special dialogue with Kaliyo about being Chiss and the Ascendency and I understand there's some extra stuff on Hoth which I haven't gotten to on that character yet.

People give it a hard time but I really enjoyed my dark side BH playthrough. You get a lot of quips and one I think I took the wrong way but it made it way funnier.

On one the later planets when choosing to kill someone the line given is "If anyone asks, you were dead when I got here." right before you shoot them. I took it to mean "If anyone asks you, tell them..." which is such a hilariously hosed up joke to make to someone who's about to die, but I'm pretty sure it's just "If anyone asks me, you were already dead".

Oh boy, here I go killing again!
